The PC release dates for a number of upcoming games including Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection may have been revealed via an update to Steam’s API.
As noted bySteamDB founderPavel Djundik,Valvehas added release timestamps in the API, which are visible even for unreleased games.
Steam now requires developers to set a planned release date in its backend for games to have a store page, even if the information doesn’t match that listed on the public-facing product page, which could simply say ‘coming soon’, for example.
It’s likely some of these internal release dates are merely placeholders, but they may also hint at actual release dates, release targets or launch windows, although if so, some already appear to be outdated.
For example, Atomic Heart’s internal Steam release date islistedas June 22, but atrailerreleased for the game last month confirmed it will arrive in the last four months of the year. Steam’s frontend lists the game’s release as TBA.
